At the very least, get a trigger lock or firearm safe. We don’t even have kids but I could never live with myself if a relative or neighbor kid hurt themselves or someone else with one of our firearms, so we have a safe.
Trigger locks are laughable, or were when I was researching this. I’ve left my revolver to family back in the states (as this one cannot be made UK compliant), but I’m still getting good use out of the fingerprint safe I got for it.
I do miss shooting sometimes, and it was fun to make and test a new cartridge between 45 and 454 Casull, but that’s all behind me now.
When I was young, my Dad simply didn’t have ammunition in the house. If we went to the range or were going hunting, we’d buy ammo on the way and we’d shoot it all or give away whatever was left over to another shooter.
No, what you say is not correct. You probably think about military service rifles only. But you can buy (and stash a lot of) ammunition as a civilian. The seller only had to make some basic background checks. I think recently, they made it a bit harder and you have also to prove you own the corresponding firearm?

Yeah my dad just removed all the firing pins. Worked well.
Good extra layer, wouldn’t use it as a sole safety measure though!
And check if the lockpickinglawyer already tested said trigger lock.
It’s bit my area of expertise; but the ones he tested where far from safe.

That’s what it’s like here in Switzerland.
You’re allowed to store guns at home but ammo is heavily restricted.
